Profile
I studied hotel and catering operations at University College Birmingham before completing a Hospitality and Catering Institutional Management Association (HCIMA) qualification. I then received fellowship of the institute in 2012.
After working in various sectors of the hospitality industry for 14 years, I worked as an area manager for a contract catering company; and then decided to return to education. I completed my PGCE in 1997 and then went onto to complete an MA in Hospitality Management in 1999.
My current role is as senior lecturer in hospitality, and I work within the department to maintain a positive experience for students while giving them the tools to achieve their career goals.
In addition, I work closely with Hired at University College Birmingham to ensure students are exposed to the hospitality industry and gain great experience and in depth knowledge of the industry.
